That’s a whole lot of awesomeness happening there.

I also have an ‘09 LY6 with a 2WD 6L90 on the way for my ‘70 Olds Cutlass S which has been drag car for the last 10yrs.

Drive it in it’s rough shape for a while, but eventually it will need a new body. I plan to keep it stockish and tiny. I am picking up another one with no drivetrain this spring that I will use to replicate my old one.

I finally got the LY6 off the pallet. I also finally mocked the tub on the frame.

So much niceness everywhere

Squared the body and tack welded the middle body mounts. Then I mated the engine, tranny, and t-case together and shoved it between the frame rails. Still have to position it, but this gets it out of the way of the reat of the garage.

My unit bearing cups arrived from S&S Fabrication. ECGS is going to make me a custom 14bolt with 4” tubes for my Jeep. I’ll have the same wheel bearings all around and the ability to upgrade past 1.5” shafts down the road. I would now if they made a 40spline detroit. Only current options are an ARB or a spool.

What’s your plan for axle seals in the rear axle?

 

[Defbob]

The unit bearing has o-rings. I was planning to use Crane Revolution adjuster/seals, but Chase at ECGS suggested putting a seal just inside the tube from the unit bearing. He said incase the seal fails, the Crane setup won’t let me know and it won’t let oil back to the gears from the tube. Plus I won’t have to disassemble the whole axle to change the seal.

I welded my motor mounts together and cut my tranny crossmember out of 2x4” 1/4 wall
